I was waiting for that joke.
I just want to say I appreciate the effort you put into these posts, they don't get enough engagement for the amount of content.
Thank you. It has helped me with my Thesis project because now I have a long list of articles and news about AI.
One thing I would say is, could you put delimiters or break lines between articles?
I've been trying to figure out how to make it visually easy to follow for a while. I agree, but am limited with what I have.
It already looks very nice, especially how you archive everything. I don't know how you did the first header. How about putting a hyphen and space (- ) before each hyperlink? Like this.

I'll try that.
Do you think that AI is a good or a bad thing overall after reading all that? Do you believe Elon, who said it would destroy humanity?
That's sort of the basis of my thesis project. I have seen a lot of back and forth but very little from anyone who actually understands it. So, my project was to design something using AI. If I had a question I made a smaller project to analyze the question. I haven't posted any of those projects here out of fear someone would trace it back to me.
The best opinion is that AI is a tool that helps you do things a large room of people could do. That large room represents several fields and talents. I can't program, but I can get ChatGPT to do something for me. I need some quick art, so MidJourney helps me. I need exact measurements and Revit does most of the work. Suddenly I am everything needed for a large design firm. I can make several products, and make it seem like I have several people doing the job.
This means those who don't understand AI are in trouble, and those who do can replace them. It's neither good nor bad. Imagine some guy with an office in his house that covers Architecture, Animation, videogames, and even books with ease.
We are in for a change, it will have a lot of difficulties, but it will transition to something cool.
AI is not intelligent. The end.
It doesn't understand shit. It's trained by human reinforcement (RLHF) to give results that sound "good". That random humans will say "Hey, that sounds intelligent / makes sense".
I think by now everyone heard of the case of a guy being blamed for something criminal (money laundering?) by chatgpt. He never did this.
Same with image generation AI. If I tell it "generate me a human" it doesn't know what a human is. I have to add negative prompts like "too many fingers" to even get to basic ideas like "a human has 5 fingers". You can't even say "human with 5 fingers", because it doesn't understand what a "finger" is.
That also is all the reason why "AI" in art works great. If it fucks up something like generating a shitty image - you just go again. If your AI doesn't detect a child running on the street - you have a dead child.
Fun recent article about the topic in general: https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/llms-are-better-than-you-think-at
Some guy on YouTube did a video called "Why LLMs might actually be self-aware". I haven't been able to bring myself to watch such nonsense yet, but it's important to know what the opposition is saying. And yes there actually is "opposition". I don't know why, but there's a segment of the population that really wants to believe in the sci-fi image of these algorithms being a nascent intellect. There's actually a philosophical argument that goes "If something can pretend to be conscious, it must be conscious." There are so many assumptions and diametrically opposed worldviews supporting that, I wouldn't even know where to begin arguing with someone genuinely holding the position.
This is also why I have no faith that AI won't "take over the world" in a possibly dangerous way. Not because the AI can actually do anything or know what it's doing, but it will become "good enough" at faking intelligence that large swaths of the population will believe it. Meanwhile behind the scenes you'll have shadowy elites pulling the robot's strings like the Wizard of Oz. Like in Oz, I think we just have to keep showing the fakery and how the machine works wherever we can.
There are plenty of people who fake their own intelligence, and its hard to give up the argument when the computer makes a better essay.
At least you know the computer will continue to give you consistent results on the job! The human fakers only want to get their foot in the door.
He sued OpenAI for slander. It's in my propaganda section.
Thank you for the article. It will be placed in the next giant list.
The thing about AI is that it's taking a lot of the jobs that don't need thought away. I made a presentation entirely by AI. I threw pictures into a frame with a paragraph and title and the AI showed me different ways to display it. I know people that spend days on a single slide.
Is that related to the NERF project?
Yeah, that was one of the reasons why I got into it.
I don't know if it can beat us to that point, we're already almost there.
There's a lot of stuff it can't do yet. I have been trying to connect text to image to NeRF for a while now and haven't quite figured it out. I do know what a GUI for a set up should look like.
Never heard of NeRF but Automatic1111 is a GUI for Stable Diffusion which has an extension called ControlNet that has a model called OpenPose.
Neural Radiant Frequency takes images and makes a 3D creation. GAN should be able to connect the two, especially if I already have a basic shape. But it's not working as it should.
OpenPose looks nice, but I'm aiming for architecture.
